I. Distribution via dedicated biomethane pipelines : -
Consumption points should be near to production.(Less than 1 Mile)
• Eg. Biomethane can be transported to nearby fuelling station
Most cost effective method.
Cost of installation is $ 1M to $ 2.5M.
Requirements :-
i. Transport in DOT approved tanks.
ii. Water vapour content is less than 0.5 lbs/million.
iii. Minimum methane content should be more than 98%.
iv. Appropriate Hazardous material markings.
